Pycnanthemum virginianum commonly known as ‘Virginia Mountain Mint’ is a plant in the mint family. It is an herbaceous plant with narrow, opposite, simple leaves, on wiry, green stems. The flowers are white with purplish spotting, borne in summer. Pycnanthemum Virginianum is native to Missouri. Its common name of mountain mint is somewhat misleading since the plant typically occurs in moist soils in wet meadows, swamps and along streams and ponds. A poultice of the leaves is used in the treatment of headaches.
